Season 3[edit | edit source]

Mrs. Headwood becomes widowed due to losing her husband Mr. Headwood to influenza, which spreads on the train while the Pirate Train is away. She carries around his old shoes as comfort to remember him. With Zarah Ferami's consent, on Wilford's orders, she performed cold-resistance treatment on Zarah's and Layton's unborn child. The train's other main doctor, Dr. Pelton, is deeply critical of this, arguing it is unethical.

Mrs. Headwood accepted LJ Folger's request to join the Wilfordites by flaying off a piece of her skin. (an initiation), leading to them beginning to trust each other more. In A Beacon for Us All, she is seen giving a vial to LJ that would then be passed onto Joseph Wilford so he could escape from the library.
